Re:Please introduce yourselves!! - Again 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
After a bit of a break I'm back! I moved out to Boston from California and I've been dealing with that and the subsequent job change for a long time. But since it's a bit harder to ride right now (snow and all) I'm trying to clean up my bike a bit and I just saw something about a longshot header leak?

I've always felt my longshots had a leak of some kind, in gear on decel they don't pop, they flutter like air is escaping out the back. However I'm pretty sure it's leaking out the BAK I have installed. It's always driven me crazy because instead of sounding tough and booming on shifting during decel it sounds like someone sitting on a whoopee cushion. Anyone else had this problem?

Start a new thread please. The Technical Discussion Forum would be a good spot for your question.

Re:Please introduce yourselves!! - Again 10 Months ago  
Good evening all! It's snowing like crazy so I'm hunting around the Roadie site. My name is Kyle and I live in northern Illinois. Way to cold to ride so I just keep walkin by the bike every day under the cover, hopin that good weather gets here soon. I have been watching this site since December. I stumbled on to it by accident. Man is this site great. I have learned more about my bike from you guys in the last 2 months than I did all last summer from my dealer. I put about 3200 miles on my new 06 Roadie last summer and God willin, I hope to put a lot more on this year. Thanks for all the good reading everybody!
